The son of far-left Democratic billionaire kingmaker George Soros said President-elect Donald Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris because he’s a “super candidate” his party underrated.
“Too many Democrats are fighting each other over campaign tactics because it is easier than accepting that Trump was underestimated as a candidate,” Alex Soros, 39, wrote on X Friday.
“He was a ‘super candidate’ with increasing appeal to a broader electorate — likely beyond the reach of both Democrats and Republicans.
“The president-elect outperformed Republicans across the country this year,” he added.
The younger Soros and megadonor to lefty causes and candidates got the “super candidate” line from a statement made by Republican strategist Alex Stroman.
“Candidates matter, and that’s the most important thing. Donald Trump is a super candidate and is finally maybe getting recognition for that,” he told political news site NOTUS.
Billionaire Elon Musk, who was recently tapped to co-lead the incoming Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said he agreed with Soros’ remarks.
The Soros family poured at least $60 million into Democratic races this year and endorsed President Biden in his re-election bid, and later backed Harris after the 81-year-old was pushed out of the race.
Trump handily beat Harris 312-226 in the Electoral College to win a second term, and he also won the popular vote for the first time in his three runs for president.
